Portable Property:Victorian Culture on the MoveJohn Plotz

"Portable Property gives new insights into how the Victorians' sense of themselves in the world and at home was shaped by their imperial role and their new mobility. Moreover, John Plotz's abundant critical talent is evident throughout: there are truly stellar readings of well-known texts such as The Eustace Diamonds and Daniel Deronda, and highly original and astute discussions of whole oeuvres, such as Hardy's and Morris's."--Catherine Gallagher, University of California, Berkeley
